We are also interested in photography, this has led to many days in the pastry studio taking shots of different dishes and components. Food is such an interesting subject to capture on film and is very difficult to master. Burch & Purchese employ professionals to do most of our food shots but we enjoy trying our hand as well. Here are a couple of shots we thought were interesting. It is of blood orange agar/gelatine solution which we have set in tubes. The acetate is removed and the gels are arranged next to each other and cut with a sharp knife. We thought they were fun shots!

My Sweet Studio is a multi sensory retail space that specializes in sweet creations perfect for spontaneous indulgent moments through to that very special dessert extravaganza.

Formerly from the UK I now call Australia home and I have built a reputation worldwide for my dessert wizardry; I fuse science with sweetness to create an exciting array of delicious tastes and textures.

Walking into Sweet Studio is unlike anywhere else you've been, a place where you can always expected the unexpected. You may find edible bubbles, a chocolate flower garden, a half chocolate and half jam spread, exaggerated raspberries or rich smoked chocolate, not to mention a magnificent selection of seasonal individual desserts or larger cakes all designed to take home for that special night in.

Bespoke celebration cakes are another special feature of Sweet Studio. A dedicated consultation area has been created with a unique and interactive flavour wall. Over 300 ingredients are on display to help you design your very own special cake creation.

This blog is centred around all things sweet although I may delve into the savoury side of the kitchen from time to time. The edges of these two sides of the kitchen are blurred more than ever before which presents an exciting new world of discovery. We will look at methods and techniques, old and new, recipes and news and events and I welcome your feedback greatly.

Thank you for reading and I look forward to welcoming you into my sweet world.
